Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Doesnt discuter take de? The answer should be dont?
But my teachers tell me its que

wind torrent
#

You are right, when de is involved, you use dont.

#

(That's when the preposition is alone and not part of a prepositional expression, otherwise you use de qui or duquel.)

See 18 and 19 for context 😭
Its my last year of highschool. Every mark means way much

#

You are correct, discuter du problème, and since du = de+le, the preposition is involved so you use "dont".

fervent walrus
#

Tyvm! 😇

wind torrent
#

It's the same for 22 (discuter de la question) by the way.

fervent walrus
#

I just noticed and was about to ask

fervent walrus
wind torrent
#

Les réalisations des scientifiques (the scientists' achievements). We have des (de+les) so you use dont. Yes, noun complements introduced by de will also have dont as their relative pronoun.

Is it like
La voiture de mon pere?

wind torrent
#

Yep.

#

That would be "mon père dont la voiture..." when you use the relative pronoun.

fervent walrus
#

Offf
My teacher told me that if i found this formation
NOM---space--NOM then verb Être its dont. Any other thing could be que or ou

wind torrent
#

(I put la voiture near the pronoun assuming it's the subject of the clause.)

fervent walrus
#

wind torrent

Why not celles

wind torrent
#

We have économise in singular, not économisent, so celle is appropriate.

fervent walrus
#

Then whats 13 like

#

Why not celles

#

Oh right problem is masculine

wind torrent
#

Celles? Problème is masculine.

fervent walrus
#

But why not ceux

wind torrent
#

So there is only one option.

fervent walrus
#

They would have put it in final test 😭

wind torrent
#

If you want to say work is one problem among many, celui is the way to go.

fervent walrus
#

So celue is correct
But is ceux also?

#

In that phrase
